─── Sachi's Selfship Event ✦

Heya, here's my event for my 500 followers milestone. It's been fun writing my silly thoughts and sharing it on this blog. Thanks for all the support y'all have given me. But, as I've mentioned in my last post, I'll start writing on a different blog.

eermmm... update?

✦ The Event ───

Basically, you tell me about your selfship and I give you a set of headcanons based on the SFW alphabet (see content under the cut for the alphabet). For moots and followers that I recognize, I’ll do 10 letters. For everyone else, 8 letters. And for anons, 6 letters.

For fandoms, please keep it within Blue Lock, Wind Breaker, Mashle, and Kaiju no. 8!

✦ Instructions ───

Send me an ask containing the following: your chosen character, your chosen letters, your likes & dislikes, love languages (receiving and giving), hobbies, interests, basic description of your appearance, picrews, random facts, some of your own lore about your selfship, etc. —literally everything that can help me write a more accurate set of headcanons

* Since some people might not be comfortable sharing their info, I’ll keep the asks in my inbox and tag you on your post instead. But if you’re on anon, I have no choice but to answer the ask.

✦ Rules ───

1. Do not rush me with your request. If you’ve sent me an ask, I’ve definitely read it.

2. Only one selfship per person!

3. Do not include any nsfw information in the ask that you will send me.

Note: Depending on the amount of asks I get, I might not be able to fulfill all of them. Of course, moots and followers take priority!

•Heart Pirate Penguin🐧•

I made a character sheet to figure out how I can draw Penguin without his trapper hat (and some silly doodles I drew last night at 3am)

HC for Penguin 👇

Headcanons for Penguin:

General / Physical appearance:

Name : Virtanen Penguin (I find it funnier that Penguin may not be a code name)

Nationality: Finnish (I'll explain it later)

Age: 28 (canon)

Gender / sexuality: Cis man / Straight

Height: 185cm / 6'1"

Eyes: Light blue (husky eyes)

Hair: Black (canon, but I like to color black hair with dark blue so don't be surprised) and some white hair

Skin: Pale North Blue boy but he tans easily (like Law and unlike Sachi who burns like a vampire before tanning a little)

Nose: a bit aquiline (Nicholas D. Wolfwood)

Merfolk origins:

1/4 merfolk, not physically visible

Possesses underwater abilities: High swimming speed, doubled strength, has no gills but can hold his breath for a long time (can't speak and must sign to communicate underwater)

His underwater abilities are less developed compared to Shachi (1/2 shark fish-man and the one with gills)

Personality:

Has an outgoing and warm personality, but only with those he trusts (Law and the crew)

Partner in crime with Shachi of course (will tease Law and do stupid things on purpose)

Acts stupid but actually isn't: He is the crew's anesthesiologist and is interested in marine biology

Relationship with Beluga (character sheet):

They are also partners in crime, but she only participates when it's not dangerous / not too stupid (otherwise she'll try to stop him and Sachi before anyone gets hurt)

He had a crush on her since the day she joined the crew, but her personality being a bit naive, she didn't realize it and ended up having a crush on Law for a while (who I HC as AroAce, so it will not be reciprocal)

Despite their respective heartbreak, they remain close

Beluga made him the penguin "pompom" out of wool, after she accidentally ripped off the red pompom while trying to see under his hat

Despite this incident, her gift will make him happy and he will develop feelings for her again

They end up together during the timeskip

I will elaborate a little more in another post, for their ship I'm thinking of "whitebellyshipping" (the only common point I found between penguins and belugas?)

Trivia:

Always keeps his trapper hat on his head out of habit (but I thought of a scar he would try to hide?)

Wears an earring in his left ear

Not sure if I'll give him tattoos for now

The only person allowed to cut his hair is Shachi (who's the crew's designated hairdresser)

About real-world nationalities on the Polar Tang:

This is to accentuate how close some members of the crew are

I HC Penguin as Finnish, Shachi as Danish and these two are the only guys on the ship who understand these languages ​​thanks to their childhood spent together

Law is German (Oda said it) and is the only one who can speak this language

I thought of Bepo as being Canadian but not sure yet

Beluga is French, but from a different region than Sanji: she's from the south and he's from the north (but being from Lyon would make so much sense to him because it's the gastronomic capital of France)

I guess the crew mainly uses an "international language" to communicate (English?)

Trafalgar Law x Male Reader

Fandom -> One Piece

Masterlist

Law had to take a double take, having to actually rub his eyes—believing for once, he's so sleep deprived without him being aware of it—thought he had misread these numbers twice already, when a distressed pair of Penguin and Sachi came jogging towards him and showed—more like slapping the paper into his face—him a new Wanted Poster.

It's not just any Wanted Poster from some random or unknown Pirate—and neither from one of his Rivals he might remotely care to know about—they have showed him, but it's your Wanted Poster and your new current bounty is truly something to gnaw on in disbelieving shock.

And besides the high bounty, there's also the fact of what's written above now—convicting a new messages for every- and anyone to make you a new desirable target to hunt down—because at the very beginning, Law remembers this good as this was one of the few unusual Wanted's he had sawn, you had been written as “Missing” (with a good sum of money to be paid for whoever might have brought you back) than it went—after what happened in Enies Lobby—to (rightfully, is what you've proclaimed proudly) “Dead or Alive” and now, after the mass destruction you've caused at Marineford, it's “Only Dead”.

It's ridiculous, Law thinks, only a year has passed and now the Marines saw you as some new big threat—even though you really couldn't be considered as such an apparent danger—but oh! Wait, yeah, Law takes it back as he recalls the ruckus on Sabaody, the destruction on Marineford and the wrecking of two fleets you did have done—you definitely should be feared.

Law pinched the bridge of his nose, sighing out a deep inhale of breath, feeling annoyance sweeping in—such news completely ruins today's plans now, because how is he going to tell you that the shopping trip is being cancelled and you yourself is the reason for it.

It actually wasn't planned to dock on land for another two weeks, but you have asked—more like pleaded and begged—him if you could go on land a bit sooner, needing fresh air and a bit of walking in sunshine—and Law had given in to your wish, only because you've asked so nicely (cute), could understand your point as you're (still) not used to sail deep under the ocean—which also was a discovery of a new found panic—missing the surface.

»Okay, Law! I'm all set and ready to go!« you've called from the door, walking out onto the deck of the Polar Tang—greeting Law and the others with a smile, feeling just a bit shy to wear one of Laws hoodies, but they're are rather comfy and warm and you still haven't found new clothes which are to your liking.

Law looks at you and while he finds it appealing that you wearing his clothes—he had learned it the hard way, just how picky you are, when it comes to buying clothes and it did have caused a small heated conversation between you two—tiny bit big in size, he couldn't stop himself from frowning—making you frown as well, sparking a little self-conscious up, thinking your appearance isn't looking good.

»We can't–« Law stopped himself to say anything further, sighing out again—you definitely would be upset, not because of your ridiculously new high bounty—which Law is not telling you about as well, not really wanting to have you yet again restless for the next few nights—but because you can't have your nights out, which you had so looked forward to.

»Sachi, Penguin, do me a favour and buy some hair dye.«

Law might couldn't completely change your appearance—and you would threaten to destroy the Polar Tang again, when he dares to try such—but dyeing your hair should be enough to not get you, hopefully, so easily recognised.

»Are we not going out?« you ask, a hearable sad undertone in your voice, when Law had manoeuvres you back inside.

»Soon.« was all Law had replied, taking your hand and leading you back inside the ship—all the way to the bathroom.

~~~•~~~

»Why are we dyeing my hair again?« you questioned—despite knowing the answer already as Law had told you before his intentions behind it, but you felt like asking again—when Law started to wash out whatever colour Sachi and Penguin had brought.

»Be careful with my white streak.«

»I am.« grunts Law, going once more through your hair with his fingers—making sure the chemicals are completely out—before grabbing the towel and starting to dry you off.

The white streaks in your, once, (h/c) hair had been a contrast in colour, but you wore it with pride and while Law couldn't really get behind—more like believing—your story of Sky Islands and fighting a false God, he does agree that getting strike down three times by lightning and still being alive, despite the remaining scar by your heart and white hair, was something impressive to must have experience.

»It's a bit late to go out now, but we're going tomorrow.«

»Promise?« there's a bit of a pout on your lips—a slight pleading in your eyes and Law thought about to go today as planned, but you already indirectly agreed to his offer.

Law only hummed in response.

~~~•~~~

Laws brilliantly idea of dyeing your (h/c) hair into a bright pink, to not have you recognised—as if he isn't some feared pirate as well, but of course he himself doesn't see a need in going undercover as well—by the Marines did not have worked so successfully as Law had hoped.

When Law and you had walked through the town—you holding his hand while Law looking more than annoyed by it, even though it's a year already of you two being a couple now, but you knew he doesn't mind—the first few hours had passed well.

But then a group of Marines patrolled by and, practically given Law the faults here—because why do you have to change your appearance, but he doesn't need to?—they had recognised you instantly, calling back up as well—unlucky luck for being in a town with a small base—and the marathon of chase had begun.

Getting separated from Law was also not part of the escapism, but here you are now—hiding in a alley, ducked down behind some empty barrels, you huffed out—lungs, feeling clogged from all the dust and sand, heavily burning from the running—trying to regulate your breathing into steady patterns again.

All you had asked for, were a few hours of walking around and getting some needed fresh air—the constant pressuring feeling of suffocation and tight spaces had begun to edge you into overwhelm—maybe even spending a bit of quality time with your boyfriend as well—but not be hunted down.

»Fuck.« you hissed out, getting up as fast as possible—when you had been spotted—sprinting out of the alley, ignoring the thumping, burning, feeling in your leg—getting shot in the leg, surprise, wasn't on today's agenda as well.

Someone grabbed your arm, turning you in one swing around and let you collide with them—you had half a mind to either blast or wipe them away—but there's the familiar yellow hoodie and when you looked up, there are the familiar grey eyes of Law.

»There you are!« though before you could say anything further, Law had used his Shambles and teleported back to the Polar Tang.

Once back on the ship, you let Law do as he pleases—throwing you over his shoulder—and making his way towards the Med-bay, you're having too much of a headache anyway to argument with him.

[nicestprinceofdeath]

Okey, so I've watched the fan letter of one piece, and it's amazing.

Anyways, it made me think that pirates in one piece are like the famous people in our world. People are their fans or heaters or just know they exist and that they are famous. People bet about them, make their own opinions, assumptions, thoughts, etc around pirates. In the fan letter for example, in the bar, the people were talking about the mugiwaras and discussing their own opinions about their strength and such.

So I thought that people would make fanfics about pirates and marines and those famous people.

Imagine people shipping Law and Luffy after they start their alliance. Or people shipping zosan because someone saw them fighting together against other pirates and they were awesome and deadly. Or people making fics about how Buggy made himself the leader of the cross guild. Some people ship pirates there too, some don't. People would write about captains and their firsts in command, like Luffy and Zoro, or Kid and Killer, ... People would write about Franky and Robin or Sachi and Penguin just because someone saw them talking once and thought they looked cute and started writing about them. And I think the more famous the pirate are the more fanfics about them there would be. Like the emperors have lots of fanfics written about them, and the warlords as well. The worst generation also is very famous now, so they would be the ones people are talking and writing now.

I don't really know, just people shipping pirates because they can, just as we do.

Some people would for sure write about marines.

There would be crazy stuff as well.

Some people would write fanfics about pirates with marines, because who doesn't like forbidden love?

And there would be like a secret system for people to write anonymously and for people to read those fanfics, because they don't want bad pirates or furious marines to find out, that could be dangerous. They are powerful so no one wants them to be aware of it. Or at least, no one wants them to know who are the writers and the readers of those fanfics. People'd like to be safe.

alice.. i keep thinking of nepo baby kaiser … do u have any more crumbs ..

hi sachi :D <3! hehe and yes i actually have a whole snack tray still at the ready ...!

nepo baby actor kaiser who takes advantage of how much people are adoring your chemistry after his newest romance movie, where you starred as the female lead as a last minute replacement. everyone is buzzing about this mysterious new actress that seemingly appeared out of nowhere, yet somehow managed to capture everyone's hearts with her performance.

it's his pr team that brings up the idea—to have you and him stage this tension when the cameras are on. you think it's an absurd idea. kaiser, however, thinks it's a great ploy to boost his image.

his current one isn't the greatest. he's had his fair share of paparazzi snapping him at... certain moments (everything spiraled after a video surfaced of him splashing water at a producer's face) so he figures that this might be a chance to give himself a positive boost.

it works out stunningly. people fawn over how you look at each other on the red carpet, with a specific clip of kaiser brushing a piece of hair out of your face where his hand lingers just a bit longer on your cheek going viral. they microanalyze your responses during interviews. there's even edits spiraling about all tagged with your ship name of both the characters you played and you and kaiser.

it's not long until the team attempts to loop you into an actual relationship with him, telling you it'll only be for a few months. you try to argue back, but kaiser is quick to sharply remind you that you're technically still his manager, still at his bidding.

so until your contract is up, you're stuck with him.

they do extra pr-training before someone "accidentally" tips off a paparazzo and you end up spending nearly all your days, all your time with him by your side, training to be the perfect celebrity "couple." going on pretend dates, practicing physical touches, rehearsing lines of affection about each other—the entire show.

what you're not sure of is if this is a part of the training—because somehow, you wake up one morning with a grieving headache in a hotel room, where familiar clothes from yesterday are scattered all over. there's a weight around your bare waist and when you look down, a familiar vine of a tattoo suddenly makes your eyes widen.

your eyes slowly trace up the arm, praying you won't find the dreaded blue rose that plagues your nightmares at the end of it, only to see it hidden under a curtain of sapphire-tipped blonde hair that frames kaiser's sleeping face on the same pillow you were just on.

─── A Letter for @marushato ✦

If you have received this, it means you signed up for Sachi's Selfship Event !

TWINNNN. We only recently became moots but I alr love you. Thank you for hyping me up and feeding our delusions together. You seriously make my brain melt. I hope to see you annotate my future works as well meehehhheheh.

✉️ Attachment: ABCs with Narumi Gen

[A] Affection He likes to play it cool and pretend to be the nonchalant boyfriend in front of everyone. But who is he fooling? Absolutely no one. Everyone in the first division knows how clingy he is. Yes, that's pretty much 90% of his show of affection—just Narumi wanting to be around you 24/7. He also likes to share his stuff with you (he never shares ANYTHING, so you know you're special). Whether it's food, a game, or something he bought off of Yamazon—best believe that if you asked for it, he'd probably let you have it.

He's a sore loser too. But he'd gladly let you win when you play games together because he likes seeing you smile so widely.

[C] Comfort Narumi's a bit awkward when it comes to comforting you, especially since you're quite good at concealing your feelings. Like he knows you're not okay, but he's not sure what to do (like the vibes are off). At first, he might try to comfort you with his words. But he soon realizes he's not that good at it. So he tries to do things for you instead—like getting you your favorite food or giving you a massage. He gives you absolute princess treatment basically (he'd want to be treated like that if he were sad, so yeah!)

He also suddenly becomes nicer? LIKE who are you and what did you do to Narumi?

[D] Dates Most of your dates are spent indoors, either at your places or in your rooms at the base. You love playing games with each other. Even if all you do is play while talking to each other—y'all are pretty happy with that. But on the rare occasion that you both have a day off that coincides with each other's, you drag him out of his cave. You get breakfast/brunch/lunch together (dinners are too much of a hassle, y'all would rather be in bed by then). But there have been many instances wherein he practically begged you to join him at a convention. You guys buy figures together sometimes!

[J] Jealousy Like I said, he tries to act nonchalant about your relationship, but he's the biggest fake idgafer ever. He gets annoyed for two reasons: 1.) he's a naturally possessive guy, what's his is his; and 2.) the audacity of that person to actually try and take something from THE Narumi Gen? His ego could never. But he'll whine and moan about it before confronting that person. He'll ask you shit like, "Do you really love me or what?" You know it's bothering him when he transforms into the biggest drama queen. However... you don't really have to worry much about him. He naturally repels other "potential suitors" and he's waaaay too loyal to you.

[K] Kisses He almost fell to his knees the first time you kissed. You both remember it well because you two were arguing about something silly at the time before the major event happened. Narumi always gets butterflies in his tummy no matter what kind of kiss you give him. You'll also notice that he likes just about any kiss on the face—cheeks, lips, forehead, nose. Sometimes you still catch him blushing, but he'll start calling you crazy and gaslighting you for imagining things lol. (He was a terrible kisser at first, but you taught him well).

[O] Other People Everyone's a bit confused how the two opposites that used to butt heads all the time are suddenly together now. But through time, people are just glad that there's someone that can handle Narumi. Due to your relationship, he has become a bit more responsible. He attends meetings more than he usually would. Hasegawa is personally thankful that you do his work now (babysitting Narumi lol). But beyond that, they find you two to be the cutest couple ever. Both of you try to be the nonchalant one in the relationship, but you both know that y'all crazy for each other.

[X] XOXO His little act of love is that whenever he orders something from Yamazon (which is pretty much all the fucking time), he always makes sure to get a little something for you. He's confident he makes enough money to splurge on the both of you. Plus, he loves the bright smile on your face as you unbox his packages together. He ordered you matching figurines once (figurines from the same series/game) and he was sooooo proud of himself.

Thank you for participating. I hope you like it :3

Dueling (Trafalgar Law x Reader)

Pov: You temporarily joined the Heart Pirates as a measure to get stronger while the two time year gap passed, this results in you participating in some activities that they have as training...

My god is this the longest I've ever written-- I even forgot to eat lol.

Warning: Curse words, mention of Marine Ford, Trauma response(?), fight scenes

Enjoy!

Training with the Heart Pirates had never been easy, if anything it was quite the arduous job. Not only did you have to learn different medical techniques but you also had to learn how to fend for yourself in different scenarios. You should have expected this as soon as you ended up joining them temporarily until the time lapse of two years passed and you could go back to your own crew: The Strawhats but alas… Anything was good enough as long as you could get stronger for your Captain and your Crewmates.

Although this didn’t mean you didn’t have your fun moments with the Heart pirates. You were reading a few books over in the library one morning after finishing off your main duties, it had become a habit of yours as soon as you got used to the not so subtle rocking of the Submarine, it wasn’t as intense as when you were in the Thousand Sunny or the Going Merry but it had a different level of dizziness that got some time to get used to, after all a ship had the advantage of being in the sunlight with some sounds from the exterior, a submarine? Not so much… and if you did end up hearing something it would never be good. You were reading over a few [ages when you heard the characteristic voices of your crewmates Sachi and Penguin together with the silent hushes from Bepo. You looked over at the main clock that hung over the library main door noticing it had passed an hour since you entered the library which explained why their voices were heading in your direction. Your brows furrowed as you heard their footsteps rapidly approaching, you left the book back up in the shelve just as soon as the door burst open revealing your crewmates at the other side with a pair of enthusiastic smiles. “Y/N!! WE KNOW YOU’RE IN HERE LET’S GO!” You let out a soft sigh as you heard Sachi’s enthusiastic voice come from over the main entrance. Bepo panicked as he yelled out “You’re a rank below me! You’re not supposed to give out orders?!” he hit the back of Sachi’s head wining himself a sonorous laugh coming from Penguin and you, you walked up to the trio with easy steps, trying your best to not topple over as you made your way to the three of ‘em with a soft roll of your eyes.

“Okay, okay, I’m coming sheesh…” You let out a soft sigh as you looked at them. As soon as you got closer, they smiled and made their way back to the corridor while you followed behind them not before closing the library door. Today was a special day, once in a while your Captain would allow the Polar Tang to resurface allowing all of your crewmates to enjoy the sun light and fresh air before going insane down in the depths of the Grand line ocean. It would be a special treat for all of you which resulted in the idea that has now brought your crewmates looking for you and dragging you out of your safe spot: training duels.

Sachi and Penguin were walking ahead of you and Bepo, clearly excited about the duels as they sometimes jumped up saying as to how they were going to beat each other this time around and how they wouldn’t hold back against anyone just to get the chance of sparring. You couldn’t help but smile as you walked behind them together with Bepo, it wasn’t the first time you did this sort of duels so you already knew what the outcome would be. The characteristic sound of a siren made the people around you quiet down as the submarine rocked ever so slightly as it started resurfacing, you had to hold onto one of the walls for support as the ground became a tad bit unstable. You may have gotten used to the normal rocking of the Polar Tang but you sure as hell haven’t gotten used to the strong movements of when it got back to the surface, it wasn’t only the rough movements it was also the combination of vertigo and emptiness that accompanied it that made your stomach hurl. It was a weird sensation almost as if you were flying for a brief moment before being struck down onto the ground by that same gravity as soon as you reached the sky. It wasn’t something you missed but hey, it was worth it after spending so many months under the deep blue of the ocean.

The siren ceased its singing making you let out a sigh of relief that was quickly quieted down by the enthusiastic voice of Bepo that ran down the corridor and onto the main door. His boots clanked against the metal floor before being quickly replaced by the heavy sound of the door handle spinning, a loud SPUSH was heard as the door shuttle opened letting in the fresh scent of the salty ocean air drift inside together with the warm sunlight. It had been a while since any of you saw the sun so it was a sight that made you smile as the cold corridors of the Polar Tang got illuminated by it giving it a sense of warmth and comfort you had missed. You made your way down the corridor and out onto the open as you unzipped your boiler suit just above the waist, leaving your body breathe from the tightness and boiling warmth from it. You sighed with relief as the fresh air from outside hit your skin adding to that sense of finally being back in the surface and out into the light. Your peaceful thoughts were quickly interrupted by the enthusiastic thumps of boots as Sachi mad its way to you and Bepo followed closely behind by Penguin.

“We can now do the duels!” He yelped out enthusiastically as he formed his hands into fists, Penguin nodded at his words.

“Yeah! We just have to tell the captain and gather everyone here on deck!” He spoke enthusiastically, while you smiled softly at the two of ‘em.

“Sure, we’ll get everything ready over here with Bepo” the mentioned nodded with excitement as he finally cooled down from the undying heat from the submarine.

And with that you four got to work. You and Bepo made a circle on the ground to signal where the arena would be while Sachi and Penguin began bringing everyone outside for your once in a while duel. As soon as everything was ready everyone started gathering around including your captain, Trafalgar Law. Sachi yelled out enthusiastically.

“OKAY EVERYONE!” He yelped out gaining everyone’s attention as he stood next to Law making him flinch at his sudden enthusiasm. “You know the rules! Our Captain over here will be our judge for the different set of duels we’ll have today! Each of you will pick a paper from the bowl and whoever has your matching figure will be your opponent for the day!”

Penguin interrupted Sachi with a light tap on his shoulder “Just remember these duels are based on pure strength and strategy, no weapons nor powers are allowed!” Law nodded at his words with his usual stern expression.

“That is correct” He looked over at all his crew including yourself “I’ll be the referee as always so I expect to see you display the best of your abilities during your duels, don’t underestimate your opponent and take this as seriously as any other training day…”

Penguin and Sachi chuckled at their Captain’s words.

“Oh, come on Captain”

“No need to be that serious” Penguin snickered

“That’s my only condition” Law spoke sternly leaving no chance for arguments against him. You cackled silently as the other two quieted down.

If there is something that was different compared to the Strawhats and The Heart Pirates was their Captain. While Luffy would have probably laughed along with Sachi and Penguin and make this whole duel thing onto a game, Law never wavered in his seriousness even though part of you knew that he still enjoyed doing this recreational stuff for his crew although he didn’t show it as much. With a few stern words and banter the duels began, you took one of the papers out of the bowl with no expectations as how it would go although you did feel a sense of nervousness and excitement to finally be able to show your new found strength.

You still remember the first duel you ever participated in, you had gone against ikkaku and since it was your first time facing off against one of your crewmates you weren’t exactly ready for it. You had won but only due to some brief luck which made you want to train harder with every passing duel which resulted in you becoming stronger as time went by. This sure as hell made you excited about the duel of today as you unfolded the paper you had picked from the bowl that Bepo had been passing around. Your eyes focused on the contents of the paper as a star greeted you back, it seemed as you wouldn’t get to fight up until later since the star usually meant you were going third, a hand was placed on your shoulder quickly taking you out of your trance as you turned to look over at the one who interrupted your thoughts.

“Hm?” You were quickly met with Ikakku’s soft smile

“Hey, it seems we both are going to duel” You couldn’t help but beam at the chance of getting to fight against Ikkaku, after all a few duels had passed since you last fought. You nodded eagerly.

“It seems like it!” You smiled with a sense of pride “Try and not go easy on me, okay?”

Your comment made her laugh. “Oh, don’t worry I wasn’t planning to!”

After everyone had picked out their dueling partner your Captain yelled out winning everyone’s attention with his hoarse yet loud voice. “Okay everyone may the circle duo step on the arena!”

The first ones to step up were Sachi and Jean bart, it would seem a bit unfair considering the height difference but if there’s one thing you’ve learned is to never guide yourself just by a single glance alone, not everything is as it seems and their duel was enough to prove that after all what jean bart had in raw strength Sachi had in agility and speed which made the duel an interesting sight as the rest of your crew watched. The squeak of a whistle presented the end of the duel as your Captain raised his tattooed hand and waved it to the side of Sachi.

“Sachi wins this duel! He’ll be moving on to the next round!” Everyone erupted into claps and cheers as Sachi yelled out excitedly.

“HELL YEAH!” Remembering his comradery, he walked up to Jean and held out a hand to him to help him stand up. Jean looked up and with a soft smirk took his hand into his and stood up from the ground with a nod of acknowledgement, no words were exchanged but you could sense the level of respect they had for each other in that single glance. That’s one of the things you were glad didn’t change even in the Heart Pirates crew: Comradery. It made you smile as you remembered old times with your own crew… a sense of nostalgia mixing in with the adrenaline of the duels giving you a sour yet sweet taste in your mouth as you kept on watching the different duels that played out. The feeling didn’t wash off even as you and Ikkaku headed to the middle of the arena to fight.

“Good luck” You whispered softly to her before walking to your side of the ring, she smirked

“You’ll need it more than me…” You rolled your eyes playfully at her words before letting out a soft chuckle. You were nervous but excitement flooded that feeling as you looked over at Ikakku waiting a tad bit impatiently for your Captain to give out the signal that you could start dueling. His cold piercing eyes scanned the two of you with an analytical gaze almost as if he was judging even the way you stood in front of each other and tried to calculate the distance between your left foot and your right foot to see where the flaws in your stance was although you caught a glimpse of surprise as he didn’t seem to find any… he lowered his gaze and raised his tattooed arm onto the sky making you tense up as your vision focused on your opponent. Law took a deep breath.

“BEGIN!”

With a stern expression he yelled out. You smirked and quickly bolted towards Ikkaku throwing a high kick her way, she swiftly covered herself with her forearm stopping your advances and ending your leg back in the same direction it came by and trying to hit you with her right fist. You quickly covered yourself up letting a soft sigh as she hit your forearm and not your face before swiftly attacking her again with your fist before turning around in your edge attempting to land a round house kick to the side of her forehead. Her eyes widened as she leaned back swiftly avoiding your attack, she lost a bit of balance so she placed her hands on the ground and quickly did a cart-wheel to get away from you and kneel on the ground as the two of you caught your breath. This fight wasn’t going to be easy and you both knew that…

Sooner rather than later you managed to beat her much to your surprise, your captain’s nod made you even more proud, he acknowledges your victory as you helped Ikkaku stand up.

As the sun starting teasing with its setting in orange waves you felt your body get sorer by the second. Somehow you had managed to get to the final rounds were you now had to face-off against Bepo, both of you were exhausted so the outcome was unpredictable. You were covered in sweat as you grunted, covering yourself as best as you could from the second in commands rapid attacks. Your mind was fuzzy as you tried to look for an opening in which you could land at least on strike all while both your Captain and Crewmates looked at the quite fierce battle clearly impressed. Your fight and attacks were so intense that they had begun creating gusts of wind with every punch or kick that landed on your skin. You were nervous and so was Bepo, the only one who seemed to be calm was Law as he looked at the duel develop with a judging gaze.

“HIYA!” With a loud yell Bepo leaned down and kicked upwards making your arms raise up, leaving your center fully open for him to strike. You tsked in panic as you saw he was about to hit ya’. You had to act and fast or otherwise you would have to bear that punch (Pun not intended). A Pom was loudly heard as you flew back and out of the arena, you braced yourself for the imminent impact that your back was going to face only to suddenly feel dizzy, almost as if you had been switched or teleported.

“Y/N-YA IS OUT!” The stern voice of your Captain made you burst your eyes open as you realized what had happened. You looked up from your position finding yourself with Law’s face just mere inches away from your face as he looked at the rest of the crew sternly. “BEPO WINS THE DUELING MATCH!”

Everyone erupted in a mixture of both excited cheers and claps as they ran over to Bepo to congratulate him, you smiled softly as you stepped down from your Captain’s arms and walked over to Bepo to the best of your abilities, after all you were pretty darn sore from the duels you had to endure. As soon as you approached him, he beamed.

“Nice duel Y/N but you should have known I would win you” He smiled proudly “After all you are under me!”

You couldn’t hide your smile as he spoke proudly, a soft laugh escaping your lips as you patted his back “At least give me credit for trying man!”

“Hey! Why don’t we celebrate!?” Sachi yelled out before dappling his arms over both you and Bepo’s shoulders winning himself a brow perk up from the two of you. Before he quickly let go of the two of you with a frown of disgust. “AH! YOU GUYS ARE SWEATY!?” The whole crew erupted into laughter including you. The sight even made the stern Law pop out a small smirk although none of you noticed as you were too busy thinking on how many drinks you were all going to share that night.

•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•

The night went on as cheerfully as that day had started. A few drunkish chats and singing could be heard at the top of the Polar Tang as the moonlight cheered with the Heart Pirates after a long day of training and dueling. For once you didn’t hide in the library and sat at the top of the Polar Tang with a mug full of beer that you drank while you watched the rest get into different banters and scenarios all thanks to the joy and excitement of the previous duels. You couldn’t hide your amusement as you focused on Sachi and Bepo play-fighting about who was the strongest, after all they didn’t get to duel against each other during the main tournament. You took a swig of your drink without realizing the presence of a certain surgeon slowly approaching behind you.

“You sure put up a good fight…” His deep voice came out of the blue, you looked over your shoulder with a curious gaze finding yourself with your Captain walking up to you. You smiled at him seemingly glad to see him again as it seemed both of you had decided to enjoy the party instead of hiding, him in his office and you in the library.

“I guess I did…” You spoke humbly as you shifted your focus back to the crew wining yourself a low chuckle from him.

“You guess?” He took a seat next to you. “I was the referee… you really doubting my judging skills?”

You chuckled “Not at all…” You sighed as you leaned back and looked up at the night sky “It’s just…”

Your eyes narrowed as you focused on the moon which greeted you with a unique shine unlike any other night down at sea. “I still have a long way to go…”

Your words made him hum thoughtfully as he looked up at the moon together with you. He understood where you were coming from after all you were one of the only strawhats that participated in Marine ford besides Luffy which obviously left an impression on you even when Luffy told you to go train with him for the two-year time lapse. It was not an easy decision but it was one you had decided to stick by but somehow struggled to accept how strong you had become. After a bit of silence and pondering Law stood up from where he sat and walked to the side, you fully expected for that to be the end of your interaction until his voice called for you “Y/N-ya come…”.

“Huh…?” Your eyes widened as he walked off fully trusting that you would follow behind. You looked at your drink opening your mouth to protest only to resignedly taking a long swig out of it finishing it off and leaving the mug at your side a you stood up, almost tripping as you ran behind your Captain. You followed him over to a secluded area at the back of the Polar Tang, you were still outside but it was pretty far away from the rush and bustle that was going on at the main deck leaving you both and Law alone in middle of the some-what silent night. Your mind started racing as you pondered on why exactly he had taken you here, did he want to chat with you? Then why didn’t he do it at the top of the Polar Tang…? It was quiet enough there after all, well… as quiet as you could get with a rowdy crew like that one of the Heart Pirates. You looked out at sea with a curious gaze before turning to your Captain.

“Is there something wrong…?” You asked in a soft tone as you faced him. He didn’t respond making you even more uneasy as the soft sound of the waves surrounding you was the only sort of noise that greeted your ears. He looked down at his hands as his back was facing you, as if he was analyzing the situation, he took a deep breath as he placed his hand on top of his feathery cape and let it drop over to the top of the railing making sure it wouldn’t fall over to the sea.

“You say you still have a long way to go…” He spoke with a soft tone to his usually strong and stern voice. You looked with curiosity as your Captain gently turned around to face you with an almost blank expression in his face.

“And honestly I can agree with you…”

You were about to speak when you were suddenly cut short. Your surprise only increasing when he suddenly raised his hand out to you in an almost challenging way. “But I want you to look at the whole picture here…”

You froze in place, your eyes darting from his hand that stood firmly in front of you as the word ‘DEATH’ greeted you and back over to his eyes that analyzed your reaction, seemingly as if he wanted to read your reaction to his words. It was obvious what he wanted, although that didn’t make it any easier for you to accept his challenge. You took a deep breath before taking a fighting stance with your fists raised up to your face, you could a hundred percent bet that you saw a soft smirk grace his lips for a moment before he ran towards you. Your eyes widened at his inhuman speed as he tried to strike you down with a swift punch, you quickly covered yourself with your forearm just as you had done with Ikakku and Bepo a few hours earlier during your previous duels. If it wasn’t for the fact that you had already seen Law fight before you would have been even more caught off guard by his speed and strength, but it wasn’t like you would allow yourself to stay behind at all. You let out a grunt before swiftly pushing his fist upwards with your forearm giving you an opening to strike the side of his ribs with a side hook, his cold grey eyes followed your movements as he prevented your fist from even gracing his body with a swift downwards swing of his right hand as he moved his waist away from you. Using the momentum of taking your hand away from his rib and pushing you down he raised his right leg to kick the top of your head, you stuttered in your movements as you quickly pushed yourself forward and rolled on the ground to get away from Law and his immediate attacks. He let out a loud tsk as he turned around to face you with a clearly displeased expression on his face.

“Your punches…” He spoke sternly as he looked at you catch your breath and nerve “They still are full of doubt… What the fuck are you so scared of?” Your eyes widened at his accusation, but he didn’t give you time to react as he suddenly bolted towards you. You let out a yelp as his fist nearly strikes your face if it wasn’t for you reacting on time. He glared at you as he tried to force his way in through your defense.

“Stop doubting yourself…” He spoke sternly as he kept on adding force making you grunt, whether it was out of pain or out of shame you no longer knew. “If you want to become stronger you have to understand what you already have… what drives you to fight, Y/N-ya?”

His voice lingered in your mind as you let out a yell and pushed your Captain away from you making him topple over as he flew back for a brief moment. You huffed as he ran towards you attacking you once more, he was relentless… he didn’t even let you think yet your mind didn’t stop wondering from side to side… What were you fighting for…? Why did you even begin this journey for…? You pondered and pondered yet Law’s attacks never ceased to stop you on your tracks almost as if saying that your reasoning was wrong… he wasn’t saying anything but you could almost swear you could hear his voice saying “Try again” with that husky voice that characterized him and only him, that same voice that always made you run over to the other side of the ship as soon as you knew you screwed up… That same voice that grounded everyone when they were in panic… That same voice that had always made you question yourself yet somehow kept you steady with the promise of something else… something more to be or to fight for as you punched and slashed what you needed to… what started out a simple duel suddenly became a fight between you and your mind while Law just guided you were not to wander to with a punch or a kick that made you trip up. A swift strike to your leg sent you toppling backwards with a loud curse to the air as you fell on your butt.

“SHIT!!” Law looked at you from his standing point, the dark lines in his chest almost dancing on his skin as he breathed in and out. Although your mind had threatened to go to other places during your duel you sure as hell did put up a good fight, and the sweat in both of your foreheads and bodies demonstrated it. He sighed softly as he looked at you on the ground, too exhausted to move as you covered your face in anger… or so he thought.

“Listen I—” He was quickly cut short by a very familiar sound, soft sniffles started to come from your side in the ground. Law’s eyes widened as he gently approached you seemingly at a loss on what to do now… He had never been the best with emotions after all. You on the other hand didn’t notice his approach, you hid your face in both pain and sadness as you tried your best to control your sniffles and cries. Your mind was racing… His words still lingering in your mind: What are you fighting for…?

“I….” You started speaking in between sobs, with a steady yet somewhat shaky breath you took your arm away from your face and looked up at the sky, a determined frown in your tear-soaked face. “I WANT TO FIGHT FOR THE FREEDOM OF OTHERS!”

Your words came out in a jumbled yet somewhat coherent mess that made Law smile pleasantly, he gently closed his eyes before he spoke.

“Then…” He walked up to you as you began sitting up straight giving out a helping hand to you as he showed a sincere yet barely visible smile. “Fight with that same trust you give others…”

His face shifted back to a serious one once more as his once sort of warm eyes began flaring up with a determined flame you had rarely seen in the heart Pirates Captain. “Trust what you know and fight me with that…” You looked into his eyes, a new sense of determination washing over you as you dried off your tears and smiled at him.

“Aye Aye Captain…” Your words made him cackle as you took his hand in yours with a firm grip, standing up in the process. He looked over at you for a brief moment before walking to the opposite side of the railing once more. You took a deep breath together with him as he spoke once more signaling the beginning of a new era unbeknownst to both of you.

“Again…!”
